EN FUEGO!

The winds that held this wave up are the very same that are still ravishing a city. 12 hours after this pic was probably taken (Sunday), we were awoken at 2am with Firetrucks going over the hill. 30 minutes later the Sheriff was on the Bullhorn outside the door. We got back into our house 15 hours later. Spent the night and next morning, then were evacuated a second time due to a different fire on the other side of our house. Luckily they knocked that one back and we were back home within a few hours. This was a good lesson. My wife has been bugging me for a few years about having a plan, a list, and the essentials ready to go. She was right. DAMNIT!

Twin Oaks. We live just over the hill. With the wind blowing as hard as it was from the fire toward us on Sunday Night/Monday Morning, I can see why they got us out quickly.
